Too much fun with the Ward family!

Last weekend we went to our friend Lauren and Jeff's beautiful wedding here in Dallas at Perkins Chapel and the Petroleum Club Sky Lobby. They had the most wonderful guest book/ favor- an old school photo booth! Here are some of the pictures we took. A little too much wine, maybe? :)

They do love each other!

He is Risen! Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend! I think it's so easy to get caught up in our day to day lives and forget that we are all sinners and that it is only because of Christ and His love for us that we are redeemed. Praise the Lord for giving us the Easter season to remind us of the beautiful gift we have!

My whole family was in town and we've spent every night since Friday at my parents', eating, drinking, dyeing eggs, having impromptu egg-throwing contests (both vertical and horizontal), impromptu choreographed dancing, and of course more eating! It was a great time to hang out with the family.

On Sunday we joined Mom and Dad at their new church, Incarnation, in Dallas. It was a lovely service and I really enjoyed the music, sermon, flowers, and the beautiful stained glass of the church! I'm really happy my parents have found a new church home with some old friends and a rector they love.

After church we went back to Mom and Dad's and ate a HUGE brunch. Mom assigned us all jobs this year, and I was in charge of the strawberry cake. I made it from scratch and it turned out great! But my real accomplishment were the Easter cake pops I made. See pics below and a link to the blog were I got the recipe. We had our first annual big kid's egg hunt. It was ridiculous but really fun!

The kids have a meeting

An update on the Wallaces

Well, after two weeks in the hospital it seems that God has been listening to our prayers and Dustin is on the road to recovery!!!! Dustin's birthday was on Friday and we joined a few other friends and family to have a small surprise party for him in the food court at Medical City. Although it was not the best of places to celebrate, I think Dustin had a good birthday and it was great to see him! Kate posted a picture of Dustin last week and there is SUCH a positive difference this week. He has more color and just overall looks healthier this week. David told me he has had his staples removed and he might get to go home as soon as Monday or Tuesday!! Praise the Lord!! I also got to visit with Kate and Nora for a little while, and both seem to be holding up well. Nora held my hands and we walked around the food court for a couple minutes as we waited to surprise Dustin.

Thanks to all for the continued prayers and support of our good friends!

Don't you wish you could live in Germany?

Then you could go to the annual beard festival! :/ Look really close, there's a bicycle 'sculpture' in there somewhere!

Funny.... at least to me:

I heard this somewhere and thought it was funny.

"You know, if you watch the movie JAWS backwards, all it is about is a giant shark that throws up people until he opens a beach."

I don't know why I think this is so funny, except for it's probably one of my favorite movies. :)
